The Pro's And Cons Of A Package Holiday
The advantage of a package holiday is that the travel agency or tour operator you book it with does all the organising for you. If you have a big family, then this can be very useful. All you have to do is give an idea of your budget and where you want to go, and the travel agent will search for flights and accommodation for you. It can save you a lot of time.
You may consider it to be a negative point that so much is organised for you if you are an independent traveller. On a package holiday you will probably be sharing your airport transfer bus, hotel, pool area and many evenings of entertainment with fellow package holiday-makers.
The Pro's And Cons Of A Self-Made Holiday
If you have the time to search for the cheapest flights, the cheapest accommodation, arrange your insurance and transfer from the airport to your holiday accommodation - then a self-made holiday can be a real way to save money.
Bear in mind that it's not a guaranteed way to save money as all flights are higher priced during the school holidays, and it will cost you a lot of time (and you'll need an internet connection) to organise all aspects of your holiday. If you are travelling with children you can loose out on some deals that the package holidays offer, such as free child places and children's clubs.

The Best Way To Book A Cheap Holiday In Salou
Providing you can get cheap flights from a budget airline, it is much cheaper for a family of 5 to arrange their own self-catering holiday in Salou than to book a package self-catering holiday.
However, a holiday in an hotel for a family of 5 works out cheaper if you book a package deal. With a package deal you can also take advantage of offers such as free child places and children's clubs.
